Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing sponge iron by direct reduction of particulate, iron oxide-containing material, wherein reducing gas which is formed in a melting gasification zone from carbon carriers and oxygen-containing gas is introduced into a reduction zone in which the iron oxide-containing material is located.
- EP-A-0 594 557 discloses a process for the production of molten pig iron from feedstocks formed by iron ores and aggregates and at least partially having a fine fraction, the feedstocks being reduced directly to sponge iron in at least one reduction zone, the sponge iron in one
- Melting gasification zone with the supply of carbon carriers and oxygen-containing gas is melted and a reducing gas is generated, which is introduced into the reduction zone, converted there and withdrawn as export gas.
- a reducing gas is generated, which is introduced into the reduction zone, converted there and withdrawn as export gas.
- the use of fine ore is possible in an economical manner, in that predominantly haematitic and / or magnetitic fine ores and / or ore dust are subjected to preheating in a fluidized bed process in a preheating zone and the preheated feedstocks are largely reduced in at least one downstream reduction zone in the fluidized bed process, whereupon the feed materials are charged into the fluidized bed of the melting gasification zone by means of forced conveyance and melted there.
- a method of the type mentioned at the outset is known from EP-A - 0 217 331.
- a gas is used for the direct reduction of fine ore, which essentially contains CO and H 2 and was dedusted in a cyclone.
- Iron sponge produced by direct reduction of iron oxide-containing material in accordance with this prior art generally has a low carbon content of around 1%.
- an increased carbon content is advantageous for the further processing of the sponge iron, in order to be able to save energy when melting the sponge iron and during the subsequent fresh process, without the need for a separate addition of carbon (carburizing).
- the object of the invention is therefore to modify a method according to the type described at the outset in such a way that the sponge iron has an increased carbon content, preferably in the range between 1 and 4%, in particular over 2.5%.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by combining the following features:
- a reducing gas is introduced into the reduction zone, which contains between 20 and 100 g of dust per Nm 3 , which has a carbon content between 30 and 70% by mass, and
- the iron oxide-containing material is exposed to the reducing gas for a period of time that exceeds the time required for the finished reduction.
- a reducing gas which is formed in a melter gasifier, is used to reduce the fine ore, the dust content per Nm 3 of between Is 20 and 100 g, the dust has a carbon content between 30 and 70% by mass.
- Dust content and carbon content can be adjusted with a hot gas cyclone and with the carbon carrier or by adding, for example, cottage coke, coke breeze or petroleum coke to the melter gasifier. Mixtures of coals can also be used which have a different tendency to grain decay (decrepitation).
- the completely reduced fine ore is exposed to this special reducing gas until the desired carbon content is reached.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the carbon content of the finished reduced ore increases exponentially when it is exposed to the special reducing gas for the time required for the finished reduction.
- the reducing gas introduced into the reduction zone preferably contains between 40 and 90 g of dust per Nm 3 .
- the dust contained in the reducing gas has a carbon content between 45 and 55% by mass.
- the direct reduction can be carried out in two or more fluidized bed reactors connected in series and the reducing gas can be introduced into the last fluidized bed reactor in the direction of flow of the iron oxide-containing material and flows through it and subsequently also through the other fluidized bed reactors in countercurrent to the iron oxide-containing material.
- the increase in the carbon content in the sponge iron can be achieved by extending the residence time of material containing iron oxide in the direct reduction compared to the minimum residence time required for the finished reduction of this material.
- the increase in the carbon content can expediently also be achieved by carrying out the reduction with a specific amount of reducing gas which is higher than the specific minimum amount of gas required for the finished reduction of the iron oxide-containing material.
- the plant has three fluidized bed reactors 1 to 3 connected in series, fine ore being fed via an ore feed line 4 to the first fluidized bed reactor 1, in which preheating of the fine ore and possibly a pre-reduction takes place in a preheating stage 5, and then from fluidized bed reactor 1 to fluidized bed reactor 2 , 3 is passed via delivery lines 6.
- the fluidized bed reactor 2 there is a pre-reduction in a pre-reduction stage 7 and in the fluidized bed reactor 3 in a final reduction stage 8 there is a final reduction of the fine ore to sponge iron.
- the reduced material ie the sponge iron
- a melter gasifier 10 is fed into a melter gasifier 10 via a delivery line 9.
- a reducing gas is generated from coal and oxygen-containing gas in a smelting gasification zone 11, which contains CO, H 2 and carbon-containing dust and is introduced into the reducing gas feed line 12 via a hot cyclone 19 in the fluidized bed reactor 3 arranged last in the flow direction of the fine ore.
- the reducing gas is then passed in countercurrent to the ore flow from fluidized bed reactor 3 to fluidized bed reactor 2 to 1, etc.
- the melter gasifier 10 has a feed 16 for solid carbon carriers, a feed 17 for oxygen-containing gases and optionally feeds for carbon carriers which are liquid or gaseous at room temperature, such as hydrocarbons, and for burnt additives.
- molten pig iron or molten steel raw material and molten slag which are tapped off via a tap 18, collect in the melter gasifier 10 below the melter gasification zone 11.
- a hot gas cyclone 19 is provided in the reducing gas feed line 12, which starts from the melter gasifier 10 and opens into the fluidized bed reactor 3 and is used to adjust the dust content to be provided in the reducing gas according to the invention, the dust particles separated in this cyclone being sent to the melter gasifier 10 via the return line 20 can be supplied with nitrogen as a conveying means and via a burner 32 while blowing in oxygen.
- the fluidized bed reactor 2 in which the pre-reduction of the fine ore takes place, is supplied with the same amount of reducing gas, but which has a lower reduction potential, which is, however, quite sufficient for the pre-reduction. Since here reached the Degree of reduction of the material to be reduced is lower than in the final reduction stage 8, so there is no "sticking" here either.
- the converted reducing gas emerging from this fluidized bed reactor 2 is fed to a scrubber 26 via line 13. A part of the washed converted reducing gas is withdrawn via an export gas discharge line 27; another part of the preheating stage 5, ie the fluidized bed reactor 1, fed via line 13.
- the gas return line 29 which is preferably provided and which emanates from the reducing gas supply line 12 and part of the reducing gas via a scrubber 30 and in turn leads a compressor 31 back into this reducing gas supply line 12, etc. before placing the hot gas cyclone 19.
- the preheating stage 5 that is to say the fluidized bed reactor 1
- an oxygen-containing gas such as air or oxygen
- the temperature of the fine ore during preheating can be set such that the temperatures in the subsequent reduction stages 7, 8 are optimized.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing, but can be modified in various ways. For example, it is possible to choose the number of fluidized bed reactors depending on the requirements.
- melter gasifier 10 is charged with 31.4 t coal / h with the chemical composition given in Table I and gasified with 31,240 Nm 3 O 2 / h.
- Table I Coal (dry) C 78.9%
- Fine ore (hematite; grain size ⁇ 8 mm) in an amount of 58.6 t / h is charged into the plant with the ore analysis given in Table II and aggregates in an amount of 8.6 t / h according to Table III.
- reducing gas is produced in an amount of 63,440 Nm 3 / h and a temperature of 1000 to 1200 ° C. This gas is removed from the melter gasifier 10 and adjusted to a temperature of 800 ° C. by admixing reducing gas cooled in the scrubber 30. After leaving the cyclone 19, the reducing gas has the composition given in Table IV.
- the carbon content in the sponge iron can be adjusted.
- the relationship between the residence time and carbon content is shown in FIG. 2, the abscissa indicating the residence time in minutes and the ordinate indicating the carbon content of the sponge iron in mass%.
- graph A relates to a specific reducing gas consumption of 1500 NrnVt ore.
- Graph B relates to a specific reducing gas rate of 1200 NrnVt ore.
- FIG. 2 thus shows that the carbon content of the sponge iron is related to both Dwell time increases with the specific reducing gas consumption.
